[DGD] kernel question

[Shentino]

This is normal.

Kinda irritating to me though, so kotaka's port manager accepts the
connection itself and then redirects. :P

When you redirect a connection, as opposed to terminating it and
letting it come back again, it technically isn't a new connection, so
it doesn't go through the telnetd/binaryd.

Klib only calls those for NEW connections.  In this case, you have an
OLD connection with a NEW user.

user::login(string str) is called with:

1.  The first line of input, if this is the first user object for the
connection, or
2.  Whatever you used in redirect(object newuser, string str) for str,
for any new user objects obtained by a redirect.

Personally, I consider this a deviation from DGD's simplicity
underneath, so all I do is have my port manager first call on a daemon
assigned by Game, which then returns which user object I want to use.
Then, comes a bit of trickery, the port manager "connection(conn)" and
then redirect(new_user_object, "foobar").  And the new user object
just plain ignores whatever is sent by login().

YMMV.
